Coverage
From 1996 to 2004, the EPCV scheme involved three annual surveys (N=8,800 households and about 11,000 individuals on each occasion): one dealing with the quality of habitat and environment (including availability and use of public transportation, services and equipments in the neighbourhood); one dealing with health, accommodation and the financial situation of households (including domestic appliances, comfort of housing, debts…); one dealing with participation in the voluntary sector and electoral activities (including working conditions, use of new technology and education/training at work, social contacts with colleagues/relatives, social isolation, leisure activities and community life).
Since 2008, the SRCV annual survey includes many questions of the previous three EPCV surveys, with three blocks of questions (Health, social participation, occupation and community life; leisure and cultural activities; social mobility and contacts with relatives) + self-reported questionnaire on wellbeing (since 2010). The SRCV sample includes 12,000 households and 26,000 people aged 16+.

This data source allows for the most detailed study concerning social systems and welfare (due to linkage with administrative/social insurances/tax collection files). It also allows detailed analyses concerning Work and Productivity; Education and Learning (with questions related to education/training during the whole life-course); Housing, Urban Development and Mobility; Social, Civic and Cultural Engagement; Wellbeing.
There are also less detailed questions regarding health and performance, and uses of technology (with questions dealing with equipment only: computers, Wi-Fi in the household, etc.).

Data quality
There have been a major break from EPCV to SRCV, as the SRCV questionnaire is specifically designed for European comparisons. Therefore, all the questions of the three annual EPCV surveys could not be kept in the SRCV questionnaire.
